carroll & dubies sewage disposal

CANAL STREET

The Carroll and Dubies Sewage Disposal site was made up of seven inactive lagoons that were used for the disposal of various wastes since about 1970. Until 1979, waste from two nearby cosmetic manufacturers was deposited into unlined lagoons at the site. Septic tank waste was also accepted at the site until 1989. Five of the seven lagoons were filled, covered, and graded. The two uncovered lagoons were fenced. Approximately 2,000 residents live within a mile of the site. The nearest homes are about 1/4 mile southeast of the site. A steep slope, woods, open areas and the Port Jervis Municipal Landfill surround the facility. The City of Port Jervis is supplied with water from several reservoirs located more than a mile upstream from the site. Homes near the site rely on private wells. Approximately 1,500 feet to the east of the site is Gold Creek, which lies between the site and the Neversink River.
